Emily Atefs film is a deeply impressive and moving portrait of a distinctive personality. Romy Schneider was a romantic dream for generations of spectators - the refined Empress Sissi. However, she arrives in the French resort of Quiberon as a broken woman, an actress at the twilight of her career, a mother who tries in vain to establish a relationship with her own child, a personality that is very fluctuating in her tendency to alcoholism and depression. In the melancholic backdrop of a seaside resort, she is to undergo an imaginary resurrection, which includes, in addition to healing procedures, an extensive interview with the German journalist Stern Michael Jürgs and a documentary by Robert Lebeck, Romys old acquaintance.
